Transformers ROTF Nominated for Scream Awards

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen recieved six nominations for Spike TV's 2009 Scream Awards. The award ceremony will take place on Saturday, October 17th at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. I guess the Transformers crew should feel honored but realistically the Spike Awards have no credibility to speak of as it is a popularity contest that attempts to mimic (poorly) the MTV Movie Awards.

The movie was nominated for "Ultimate Scream", "Best Science Fiction Movie, "Best Sequel", "Best Director", "Best Actor in a Science Fiction Movie or TV Show" (for Shia LaBeouf) and "Best Actress in a Science Fiction Movie or TV Show" (for Megan Fox). I am a bit suprised that the movie didn't get a nomination for "The Holy Sh#@ Scene of the Year" category for the forest battle or Devastator merge especially considering what was nominated (see below).

The nominations were decided by the awards "Advisory Board" that includes Tim Burton, Wes Craven, Roland Emmerich, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and Eli Rith. If you want to vote for your favorite movie, head to the Scream Award website.

The six categories to see the competition:

THE ULTIMATE SCREAM-"Drag Me to Hell"-"Let the Right One In"-"Star Trek"-"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"-"Twilight"-"Up"

BEST SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE-"Knowing"-"Moon"-"Outlander"-"Star Trek"-"Terminator Salvation"-"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"

I agree with Anonymous @6:35pm. There are SEVERAL "Holy S***! moments in "Revenge of the Fallen"! For example, The Forest Battle, The Shanghai Battle, Devastator, etc.

If you read the comments under the "Best F/X" section, like 99% of the votes are for "Harry Potter"! Why? "RotF" had the best! Even "Star Trek" or "Terminator 4" had better vfx! Someone quoted Roger Ebert as saying "The robots look like junkyard throwup." Yeah, so? That's the "DESIGN", not the "VFX!" Stupid Ebert. >:(
